Oh, that got sent too early, sorry. I meant to say: Feel free to add some of these descriptions to the stack overflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32010122/are-the-hl7-fhir-hl7-cda-cimi-openehr-and-iso13606-approaches-aiming-to-solve
Two people thought the question was bad enough to down-vote it, but I think this discussion shows it to be useful, so maybe that can change. //Erik onsdag 26 augusti 2015 skrev Erik Sundvall <[email protected]>: > By the way feel free to add some of the > > onsdag 26 augusti 2015 skrev Erik Sundvall <[email protected] > <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','[email protected]');>>: > >> Hi! >> >> Where can one find proposals/diagrams describing the refreshed RM >> (reference model) in the new 13606 revision?
